Eduard 84171 Tempest Mk.V Series 1 Weekend edition 1/48 – plastic aircraft model kit

Eduard 84171 Tempest Mk.V Series 1 Weekend edition in 1/48 scale is a unique plastic model kit representing one of the most advanced RAF fighter aircraft from World War II. Designed for aviation modeling enthusiasts, this kit allows you to faithfully recreate the legendary Hawker Tempest Mk.V – the aircraft used by the Royal Air Force of Great Britain.

The Tempest Mk.V entered service in 1944 and was used mainly on the Western Front during the final months of World War II. It was a versatile interceptor that earned fame as one of the few Allied aircraft to effectively combat German V1 rockets as well as Luftwaffe aircraft, including the Messerschmitt Me 262 jet fighters. The Tempest Mk.V took part in operations over Normandy, missions over the Netherlands, and covering Allied forces during the crossing of the Rhine, among others.

The Weekend edition is a simplified and economical version of the kit, ideal for both intermediate and experienced modelers who want to quickly assemble an accurate replica without unnecessary extras. The 1/48 scale ensures excellent proportions and enables the display of attractive structural details of the aircraft. Eduard, known for its precision, has ensured a rich fuselage structure, detailed cockpit recreation, and realistic landing gear.
